For the stunnel, FIPS mode 140-02 is a standard for evaluating the efficacy of cryptographic devices. It is the industry standard for securing digital data and maintaining communication system integrity. The FIPS Level 2 includes physical tamper-evidence and role-based authentication requirements. Software implementations must also operate on an operating system certified to Common Criteria at EAL2 (Evaluation Assurance Level 2).
